Abstrakt: A wavelength switching mechanism of two longitudinally coupled and independently contacted photonic crystal channel waveguides is reported. The waveguides are coupled by a photonic crystal section of one period in Γ-M orientation. The cavity lengths are chosen such that the cavity modes exhibit slightly different mode spacings and allow for a wavelength switching by mode interference between the two cavities.
